Deals: Prime Day shopping is over, here are the best Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10 series deals
Post-Prime Day: The Best Deals Still Standing on Galaxy S26 and Pixel 10
Amazon Prime Day has officially wrapped up, but that doesn’t mean the savings have disappeared. If you were holding out for a deal, you might be surprised to find that some of the best prices on the latest Samsung and Google flagships are still very much alive. Whether you’re eyeing the powerhouse Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or checking out the Google Pixel 10 lineup, here is the current landscape for smartphone shoppers.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Series: Still Great Value
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is maintaining its momentum, sitting comfortably under the $1,000 mark for the 256GB base model. If you’re considering jumping up to 512GB, keep in mind there’s a $200 premium this time around. Before pulling the trigger, it’s worth checking our deep dives into how it stacks up against the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the iPhone 17 Pro Max to see if the specs justify the upgrade for your specific needs.
For those looking for a slightly more ergonomic choice, the Galaxy S26+ offers a sweet spot in pricing. While the older S25+ saw some decent Prime Day action, the current 2025 model has become the more logical pick—it’s priced at $800 for the 256GB version, a mere $15 more than the S26+. Our head-to-head review can help you decide if that extra cash for the Ultra is worth it.
If you’re weighing the Galaxy S25 FE against the newer tech, remember that 128GB of storage is getting harder to live with. At only an $85 difference, jumping to the S26+ gets you the much faster Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset and a significant RAM boost, making the upgrade a no-brainer for performance enthusiasts.
Google Pixel 10: Aggressive Discounts
Google is coming in hot with $300 off on both the Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL. The Pro XL is now priced so close to the S26 Ultra—only a $35 difference—that it really comes down to your software preference and camera philosophy; you can see our full comparison here. On the smaller side of things, the 6.3-inch Galaxy S26 is currently $115 cheaper than the base Pixel 10 Pro, creating a distinct price bracket for those who prefer more compact devices.
For the budget-conscious, the standard Pixel 10 is $135 cheaper than the Galaxy S26, though it feels a bit more like a mid-range contender when you look at the feature trade-offs compared to the Pro model. Meanwhile, the entry-level Pixel 10a continues to be a solid, if minor, evolution over the 9a, bringing improved battery life and faster charging to the table.
